Making Art That Sell

Hello everybody

I have been very fortunate to find myself on the e-course 'Make Art that Sells' run by Lilla Rogers, who is an Art Agent Extraordinaire. 

Last week was week two and with the fantastic support of my wife, I have managed to find the time to complete two great assignments.

The course is about helping you to develop your work ready to use in a commercial market.


The first assignment was to develop a vintage kitchen style fabric


I used my own photographs and drawings to help influence the final outcome.





I have not drawn like this for a long time so it was a great exercise.

Assignment Two was to design a set of plates. This was a bit more difficult, but here is the final result.



I would love to know what you think? 

Time for me to start Rinda's 2013 scavenger hunt and the third class assignment commences this week. All I know is that it is book illustration; can't wait!

Busy times ahead at school also as the end of term exams and ofsted (again) are looming.

Take care and I promise to be back soon with a glimpse of this week's assignment about which I am very excited. Can you tell?

Hi Andy,
I love the fabrics - especially the first one! As for the plate, I would be tempted to eliminate the background layer with the shadow of the plant. I think the other elements would pop more. But, I stand in admiration because I wouldn't have a bloody clue about how to do any of these.
Have fun with the photo prompts and good luck with the end of the term madness..
Rinda
